Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[Zaxxon]

seems to be a strong level of resistance at $1015...does anyone have level 2 data to confirm? If we overtake $1015...where is the next level of resistance.

If you'd have told me this morning that we'd blow through $1k and stay solidly there all day I'd have been ecstatic. I mean, not only is it well above prior ATH, it's a new stock price digit for heaven's sake.

I'm sorry, what was your question?

Spoiler: Heimatdamisch

Where do we go now?

Spoiler

I'm happy right here, actually...

Anyone notice that we've now solidly passed the next market capitalization tranche for Musk's compensation plan? What's the ETA to knocking out another operational milestone?

I believe everyone who 'made' @Krugerrand buy a share whenever the 'D' word came up should get a big 'thank you' from her.

Next you’ll be suggesting I invite them all to my island.

I have a significant amount in TSLA as well....dont think you can ever say "too much TSLA"...im gonna be adding on pullbacks...but definitely makes you think twice if you've been in since the $300, $400, $500, even $600-$800's.

Pfft! I’ve been in since less another zero. You late to the game.

Covered calls at 1080 for Friday. Getting nervous.

Pah, I have two for NEXT Friday for $975

But next week is a triple-witching, so anything could happen.

If they exercise, well see where we are - maybe I can just recover with puts, maybe I load on LEAPS with the cash until, choices...

If we get some monkey-business and a dip, then might try to wriggle out of it.

I also figured another solution was to sell two more covered calls at a higher strike, further out date and recover the premium from that. kind of defers the risk, keep doing that and would never lose the shares... and at some point we'd get a dip and I could close the position...

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Pfft! I’ve been in since less another zero. You late to the game.

Well....better late then never...ill give you another 0 for your shares if you like

Truly hope all Tesla Employees have stock options and are feeling happy today.

 

[Krugerrand]

I just want to know how this will effect the price of real estate in Fremont.

I think that might depend on if Tesla stays or goes.

Munro in his Cybertruck ep3 video.

I think he's buying one to keep.

"This is not a pick-up truck. Forget It. This, this is the off-roading truck that everybody who's like me would like to have"

A bit technical but watch the comparisons to today's trucks from around 13 minutes till the end.

Munro has been pretty clear in his video discussions like on Autoline that he wants to own this vehicle for his own use.

 

[Drax7]

Chanos' nervous laugh 12 seconds into that interview is very telling, creepy even. He's "analyzed" himself into a corner he can't get out of.

He tried everything to malign Tesla, from the Yale professor he is in cohotes with , to the vanity fair article
From Bethany, , to Lora at Bloomberg, to the CNBC appearances, and on and on. The sec should
Run him down.

When you have free publicity like this, who says we need advertisements? It doesn't get any better than that!

Look at the mess you ALL have made.
I came here a debonair fun-loving, whimsical guy. That nasty Cyberbait got me to buy TSLA. I was good. just driving my 2008 Big Horn Ram Pick-em-up truck. And then I saw that silly video of Elon and some stainless steel piece of cheese with wheels. Fuggin ugly is what it was. But I wasn't doing much so I watched a little more. The Way it was presented was a turn off to me, and probably a lot of other old men. But then we saw it for what it was a Cybernotatruck. Even Sandy Munro now refers to it as Not a Pick-up.
So I waited till near the end of 2019 to place an order so I'd be well into the second year of production so the bugs will have been exposed and fixed. And then I joined the cybertruck forum, and some ofm the guys were chating how they bought TSLA, and they expected their shares to pay for the truck...after them bragging and bragging I looked into it..and damn. Why not? So I bought 120 shares, about all the money I got in my ROTH 401k. I figured the stock would go up and I'd have plenty to buy the truck and pay off the house...or it would go down and I'd keep my old fleabag Ram, and just keep the account for an emergency fund.
AND NOW LOOK
I'm a mess I tell ya.... sitting here being able to cash out and get the Cybernotatruck and pay off the house..or keep riding the horse...like some greedy damn fool.
giddy up.

Below: TSLA stock price now.
Above: TSLA stock price in ten years time

Yeah. Easily, easily done. That's only a CAGR of 26%

I think will get there a whee bit sooner...

Cheers!

Macro's swinging back and forth and Tesla not moving in either direction. Who would have guessed Tesla would be the most stable stock for the day post Fed news

Congrats, you are now officially a TSLA member and are feeling the pain that we are all feeling. Having a wallet too big for your pocket and getting bigger, more conspicuous and might disappear the next second because the CEO smoked weed.

Another day of boring price action

 

[lafrisbee]

Who are these people buying over 10,000,000 shares for over $1000/share?
"TSLA? I'll buy it when it gets to four digits"

Those with a Margin Gun on their Heads

When you reach uncharted territory it sometimes only takes a nudge to make it go parabolic. But I like the consolidating here. It’s giving it a nice base.

i was just going to ask you to remind me on the timing of margin calls?

FINRA: Understanding Margin Accounts, Why Brokers Do What They Do | FINRA.org

Excerpt:

Normally, the broker will allow from two to five days to meet the call. The broker’s calls are usually based upon the value of the account at market close since various securities regulations require an end-of-day valuation of customer accounts.
